Must We Have Sharia in America?
Politicians Bowing to Tech Companies May Be Pointed in the Wrong Direction
Over the past few years Hoosiers have witnessed a rather obvious groveling of political leaders at state and local levels who bend over backwards to please high tech companies in meeting their political demands. One only need to remember the “RFRA fix” that was rushed through the Indiana state legislature at lightening speed. Many politicians and groups like the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce now claim that embracing a radical sexual agenda is going to create jobs or grow a local economy . . . even if it comes at the expense of religious liberty.
There is a remarkable …
The Sickening Hypocrisy of Starbucks and Apple
She was only 17 years-old when she died. Her father cut out her tongue and burned her alive.
What was her crime, and why did this man kill his own daughter in the most horrific imaginable way?
He was a Saudi Arabian official who worked with the Commission for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice – the religious police – and when his daughter became a Christian, he butchered and murdered her.
What does this have to do with Starbucks and Apple?
Both these companies blast Americans who stand for religious liberties and conservative moral values, even threatening states …

Destroying Religious Freedom to Save It
Even before the U.S. Supreme Court announced the previously unknown constitutional “right” to impose same-sex “marriage” on all 50 states, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) was readying its next volley.
For two decades, the ACLU has cited the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) as a defense of religious liberty in various worthy and some not-so-worthy cases. No more.
The ACLU has decided that the unalienable right to religious freedom embodied in the First Amendment must give way to newly coined claims by newly empowered groups.
In a Washington Post column, ACLU Deputy Director Louise Melling called on …
Republican Party Elites Abandon Traditional Marriage
Only six of 54 Republican members of the U.S. Senate signed a pro-traditional marriage legal brief to the U.S. Supreme Court that was submitted on Friday. USA Today noted, “By contrast, 44 Democratic senators and 167 Democratic House members filed a brief last month urging the court to approve same-sex marriage. The brief included the full House and Senate [Democratic] leadership teams.”
These developments strongly suggest that while the homosexual movement remains solidly in control of the Democratic Party, the tactics of harassment and intimidation that we saw wielded against the religious freedom bill in Indiana last week are …

Angie’s List Sides Against Christians
Angie’s List, the online service that provides consumer reviews of service professionals, publicly endorsed anti-Christian bigotry by opposing an Indiana law designed to protect religious liberties and freedoms.
Last week, Indiana Governor Mike Pence signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) after the state legislature overwhelmingly supported it. Twenty states now have passed the law, with Arkansas and Georgia currently considering it.
The Indiana law is identical in all fundamental respects to the 1993 federal RFRA signed into law by President Bill Clinton after it passed the U.S. House unanimously and the Senate 97-3.
Unfortunately, Angie’s List has joined …
Tumultuary Harry Reid Insults Whites, Women and Justice Thomas
Ruth Bader Ginsburg Was Right … Sort of
While reams have already been penned examining the implications of last week’s Hobby Lobby decision, most of what’s been written, particularly in the liberal press, has missed the point entirely.
Though I’m mildly pleased that the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) is not quite ready to take gasoline to both the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), signed into law by Bill Clinton, a liberal, in 1993, I am alarmed, and so too should you be, that only 56 percent of our sitting SCOTUS justices are still willing to give the U.S. Constitution a modicum …
